Psalms 28:3. Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
We are often afraid lest we should get numbered with them.
"Oh! were it not for grace divine,
Their fate so dreadful had been mine."
"Gather not my soul with sinners," is the prayer of many a godly man. When he looks within and sees the sin that is there, and what he deserves from the hand of God, apart from the blood and righteousness of Christ, he begins, indeed, to pray, "Draw me not away with the wicked. O Lord, do not let me wander into doctrinal error or into errors of life, or into laxity of behavior, or into backslidings, but keep me fast, for unless thou hold me fast: -
"’I feel I must, I shall, decline,
And prove like them at last.’
Draw me not away with the wicked."
